Hi,
The file `sysdeps/wordsize-32/bits/environments.h' contains the
following comment:
/* We optionally provide an environment with the above size but an 64-bit
side `off_t'. Therefore we don't define _XBS5_ILP32_OFFBIG. */
We only provide this 64-bit `off_t' environment on Linux. Not for the
Hurd. Shouldn't `_XBS5_ILP32_OFFBIG' be defined to `-1' in the
generic `sysdeps/wordsize-32/bits/environments.h' file, and provide
suitable <bits/environments> headers in the subdirectories of
`sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux'?
I volunteer to write/provide the necessary patches.
Mark
